April 18th, 2018

Last Saturday saw the first of Birdwell Wheelers’ two Open Time Trials.

The 10 Mile event saw 83 riders complete the distance, with the winner of the Taylor Trophy for fastest man being Simon Beldon in 20m 19s. Fastest woman and winner of the Jim Carr Trophy was Kirsty Bramley in 24m 01s. Winner of the road bike event was Andrew Newby in 23m 24s.

One notable ride was by Birdwell Wheelers’ Tina Oakes (pictured) who recorded a time of 29m 20s to break the 30-minute barrier in her first ever Open event.

This week the club’s 100 km Audax , postponed due to snow, will start at 9amon Sunday. Riders are required to complete the flat course to Snaith and back in just over seven hours. Entries are available on the day at Birdwell Community Centre from 8:30 am.
